CityofLondonDryGin(700mL)

<p>City of London Dry Gin is really, really good from the stiff upper lip to the first lovely sip. </p><p>The City of London Distillery is as much a bar as it is a producer of quality adult beverages. Actually, to be accurate, they <em>opened a distillery “in” a bar o</em>n December 20th, 2012… Johnathan Clark’s cocktail bar on Bride Street, London, to be precise. As you may imagine, if you open a distillery literally “inside” an operating cocktail bar, you <em>do NOT have 30,000-gallon tanks</em>. These guys are a <em>micro-distillery </em>from the get-go. </p><p>Don’t get us wrong, these guys bought <em>top-end equipment </em>— professional-grade copper pot-stills from Germany. But they hold about 50 liters at a crack, so it will be quite a while before you find bottles of their quality hooch at the MegaMart. And with a name like “The City of London,” you better represent! And <em>REPRESENT</em> they do, producing <em>five signature Gins </em>in all of their <em>classic juniper-licious glory</em>. </p><p>City of London Dry Gin is <em>— as you might expect —</em> a spot-on, <em>faithful reproduction of a classic London Dry </em>style recipe. Anything else would be improper. Sure, the good chaps at the City of London Distillery make a range of Gins, but you ALWAYS start with the basics. And this London Dry Gin is really, really good from the stiff upper lip to the first lovely sip. </p><p>The <em>herbal infusions </em>are just what you want: <em>juniper, angelica, licorice, coriander seed, and a medley of citrus zests</em>. Have you been to London yet? The entire town drips with tradition and culture. City of London Dry Gin tastes like you are standing in a bright red phone booth on a foggy day while a double-decker bus drives by… oh, and you had fish and chips for lunch at the pub while reading “The Times” and wearing a bowler hat. </p><p>
